Re: gnome-initial-setup per-user mode disabled on kickstart installs: intended?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



A related issue:
when installing *without* kickstart (just plain anaconda) F27 beta I
was first asked about the keyboard layout in anaconda, and made my
choices there, and then g-i-s insisted on asking the same questions
again starting from scratch. This is especially annoying because
g-i-s ignored previous setup, and doesn't have a quit button or a skip
button, so unless I picked the keyboard layouts again, it would just
undo my changes.

Not sure how much of this is intended, but it feels like a regression
from F26.
